Fierce Legitimate Daughter - C474
At that moment, he felt a little flustered. He ignored etiquette, not caring about shyness. He even subconsciously raised his head and hurriedly called out, “Your highness …”
He covered his mouth in panic, not knowing what to say.
Mu Qiu Shui’s footsteps paused for a moment, but he quickly regained his normal speed and walked straight out of the hall, leaving behind Shu Xin’s sad and confused face. She sat on the ground, looking at the eye-piercing red dress, and called out frantically in her heart: Mu Qiu Shui, Mu Qiu Shui…
In the barracks.
“Little sister, what’s wrong with you? The young eunuch came to report just now and the emperor betrothed you to that Prince Mu Qiu Shui. Isn’t this what you were thinking? He watched her grow up, beautiful and intelligent, gentle and refined. He didn’t know that she had reached the age of marriage, and even said that her elder brother was like a father to her. Now that she had finally gotten married, why couldn’t she be more pleased than he himself?
But now, Shu Xin’s eyes were red and her brows were knit together. Where did it seem like there was such a happy occasion?
“Big brother …” Shu Xin threw herself into Shu Ren’s arms and sobbed softly.
“What happened? “Hurry and tell big brother.” Shu Ren also panicked. He gently caressed Shu Xin’s hair as he asked anxiously.
His heart slowly calmed down as he said in a choked voice, “Big Brother, but … But he … He doesn’t seem to like little sister …” After saying that, he began to cry sorrowfully again.
When Great General Shu Ren heard her words, he heaved a sigh of relief and pulled her hand, smiling as he consoled her, “Silly sister, I thought you were the one that scared big brother. He doesn’t like you, but even if he doesn’t like you now, won’t he like you in the future?”
“But how can I make him like me?” Shu Xin was still not confident.
“Little sister, this big brother will naturally slowly teach you and discipline him so that he won’t be able to let go of you in the future.” “Now that you can’t get his heart, you have to get his person first. Only when someone is by your side can you have the chance to capture his heart, so since the emperor has already bestowed the marriage, then you can happily become the one to get married. Don’t be sad or sorrowful, if anyone sees you, they will have to gossip. The most poisonous thing in this palace is the words of the people.”
“Really, brother, do you really have a way to teach me how to get his heart?” After hearing Shu Ren’s words, Shu Xin felt that it made sense, but she still wasn’t at ease.
“Don’t worry little sister, how could big brother lie to you.” In addition, when you marry into the Prince’s Mansion, the Prince will inevitably marry three wives and four concubines. You must be more shrewd, never have any intentions of harming others, and never lack a precaution against others! “Ai, since you’ve grown up and married, big brother will not be able to take care of you for the rest of your life. You have a gentle and pure personality, so big brother will always worry about you …” As General Shu Ren spoke, his eyes turned red.
Shu Xin hurriedly comforted her brother. The siblings spoke a thousand words to express their feelings. It was only until the sun was slightly to the west that General Shu Ren finally let go of his worries and left the palace, giving out another series of orders.
As she gazed upon the rows and rows of bright red lanterns, she seemed to have forgotten the cold attitude that Mu Qiu Shui had shown her in the daytime. She couldn’t help but feel warm in her heart, Hmm, sister is right, he doesn’t like me today, but he might not like me in the future!
Although Mu Qiu Shui was the Duke of Daxing, he had lived in Wind Nation for a long time. Thus, they could get together often, and not have to suffer the pain of having to leave their homeland and forget about meeting each other again.
The news of Prince Mu Qiu Shui and the Princess of Wind Nation’s heart’s marriage quickly spread across both countries, and everyone said that the two of them were a perfect couple. This was a rare opportunity, but when the Daxing Emperor heard that his son was going to get married, he became extremely angry.
The Empress laughed and advised, “Your majesty, Mu Qiu Shui should have long since reached the age to get married, but because of a knot in his heart, he has never married, so he hasn’t had a descendant. Now that he is finally willing to marry, there is hope for a descendant.
The Daxing Emperor slapped her forehead, “That’s right, Empress. You have reminded me, I want him to quickly return to the Daxing to get married.
Therefore, when the Daxing’s Emperor ordered this, Mu Qiu Shui was unwilling and unable to defy it. He had no choice but to put his obsession with Xi Jiu Er at the bottom of his heart and unwillingly return to his country to get married. He originally wanted to settle down in the Wind Nation and get closer to Xi Jiu Er, but from the looks of it, he could only plan it out in the future.
Feng Qing Cheng was overjoyed. If Mu Qiu Shui went back to his own country, wouldn’t the threat of his love rival be reduced even more? Moreover, marrying the Prime Minister’s daughter to the Daxing’s King could be considered as a marriage. The Wind Nation had gained an additional ally, so why not?
However, the joyous event in the Princess’ mansion had the worry of family members. That’s right, her daughter, who had been raised in a pampered age, was now going to be married into another country. She could not always take care of her parents. However, the imperial edict could not be disobeyed, and the marriage contract could not be broken. Moreover, his daughter had taken a liking to someone, so he could only temporarily put aside his worry and happily marry her out.
Even though that country was far away and that person was cold, he was still his husband from now on. He would stay together from morning to night, and it would be very sweet just thinking about it.
The wedding was scheduled to be held grandly in Daxing. The Daxing Emperor was very satisfied with Shu Xin as his daughter-in-law and gave her many maids and jewelry. That day, the clear sky, golden wind Xi Xi Xi, put on the wedding dress of the heart than usual more gorgeous, lovely, full of longing to sit in a happy sedan, full of happy fantasy later life.
Finally, when the guests had dispersed, Mu Qiu Shui, who had been slightly drunk, entered the bridal room with the support of the servant. He looked at the man dressed in wedding clothes, who sat quietly on the side of the bed. He slowly walked over, carefully opened the handkerchief and murmured: “Young man!”
Shu Xin slowly raised her head. Her bright eyes seemed to be filled with clear water as she shyly and gently looked at the man she loved at first sight, but she didn’t notice that the person she called out was another woman.
Mu Qiu Shui stared at her face, his eyes extremely warm and gentle, he extended his hand and caressed her cheeks, as though he was caressing a beautiful jewel. The corners of Shu Xin’s mouth could not help but rise as she shouted out in a hoarse voice, “My prince!”
When Mu Qiu Shui heard Shu Xin’s voice, he immediately retracted his hand. No, this was not Xi Jiu Er, this was the woman called Shu Xin! This was not the Xi Jiu Er that he loved, it was not!
As if waking up from a dream, Mu Qiu Shui retreated step by step, without saying another word, and then left the bridal room.
